Albeit I was not fond of the structure, rookies and midpricers dictated I go that deep and by starting J Rachele, M Hinge, D Stephens and F Maginness on the bench, it provides a lot of flexibility for restructures come RD3 by using a trade boost. Of the four defensive premiums, Rich did not feature during the preseason (spot occupied by Lloyd) whilst the rest were regulars in most of my structures and Rich will likely be the most dispensable.
Another positive with going deep is come RD7 and the DPP changes, I could switch them for a discounted midfield super premium, as long as their price does not take a massive hit, by clearing out some rookie deadweight that look unlikely to reach the recommended gain. I am also not involved in any cash leagues which provides a lot of freedom in going hard early rather than playing defensively in the attempt to breakeven.

Neale & Butters steadying the ship after Ridley's effort yesterday. Happy with the scores of McCartin & Conigs.
Swapping out Patty Naish on field for Elijah Hollands to access Martin's (E) score. Very nice that they play each other last round & I get the convenience of being able to swing that move.
Captain Sean Darcy will fetch me Grundy's E score & Macrae's 133 as the VC.
Only a few premos left to play so hoping they can maintain the rage today.

Absolutely agree and you have plenty of flex. I like Rich, if not injured, think he will be fine. Lloyd we will see if still the seagull he has been. Change of pace of game and boosting of defence with midfielders seems to be hurting some of these defenders.
The irony is for me was my structure either was 4 + Hewett or 3 premiums + $230-275k defender. The latter allowed me to add of the value mid choices in Cripps, Rowell, Berry and many 200k fwds.
Either very aggressive or defensive, although I define deep defence as defensive. Decided if 4 rookies to take them in the backline, whilst prices not ideal, the cheap options in other lines were not ideal. That and waning confidence in defenders, although, managed to cop two bullets.
Similar to you, the DPP fed into my thinking with McGov and Daicos like to move into defence if needed from round 7.
Key now is what flexibility we have come round 3 to make changes to improve the team. Can you get a Hewett, Cripps, Rowell (potn), Heeney, Lipinski or $200k forward/Preuss if you missed them and think you want one of them either via downgrade or both an up and down which brings in two of those names.

Rowell, Xerri, JHF, Brodie & Hinge to come
Martin (114) and Hayes (127) on bench not being used like many I guess but at least I have them.
Last minute grab of Berry looked great up until 1/4 time and then somehow just went backwards from there. Might free up cash with him depending on what happens with some of the rookies today.
